Mrs. Corrieri wrote:
My animal lives in the woods, but sometimes this animal shows up in people's back yards to eat bird seed. This animal is big. The color of this animal is brown or black. This animal has big teeth and claws. What is this animal? Mrs. Potter answered:
I think this animal is a deer. Am I right? Mrs. Corrieri answered:
Good guess, but it is not a deer. Maybe this information will help- this animal hibernates all winter Mrs. Potter asked:
I know now, it's a bear, right? Mrs. Corrieri answered:
Good job, you're right! I did write about bears.
So begin by thinking about the animal you want to write about then write a slppy copy of your "Guess My Animal" essay, edit the draft and when you're ready to write the final essay, head over to this page and post it.
